The Americans typically use space shuttles such as the Discovery,
Endeavor,
Atlantis as their means of transportation into space. The Russians used
space shuttles such as the Soyuz, Vostok and Buran. Since Russia and the
United States have such a big lead on China in the race for space, what
capabilities do space shuttles like the Discovery & Buran have that the
Shenzhou does not? Are the Chinese planning to build an advanced space
plan
like the Discovery or perhaps the Locheed Martin X11?


Get a clue. Buran doesn't exist, and 90% of the rest of your questions
could be answered with some basic web searches. Do your own homework.
